I didn't expect to be able to change this so many people - I believe this sentence is not from the perspective of saving others. In the narrow and often indignant, eager to slap on the case, murder and bustling in the teenage years, for this short man with a face like a good girl, who will shock the neighbor's child laughing and carry it on the top of his head, he is absolutely convinced. I'm not the only one—the animation is so well-shot that it makes one nod lightly.
I'm really praising it in the highest words. People always have a tendency to deify their teenage persistence and dreams, and this tendency increases proportionally with age. The last related projects of "Rurouni Kenshin" are OVA's "Memories" and "Star Frost", which has been ten years since then. Those young people who used to be high-spirited have personally experienced Jianxin's ten years of wandering, and they have locked the sharpest and dazzling edge in a reverse-edged knife, hidden in their hearts, but few people are there. , in the future life, he can pick up the belief at that time, still dare to be injustice, and draw his sword in anger. Most people's swords are rusted in their sheaths. They dare not pull them out for a long time, but they miss the dazzlingness of the past because they avoid the obscurity of the edge. Therefore, they constantly fantasize that the sword in their hearts can still cut iron like mud, and the edge remains the same. As for the imaginary light that has skyrocketed due to years of self-deception, it is still a bit better than when it was in its current year.
To make a movie under the title of "Rurouni Kenshin" is like a sword with thousands of imaginary sword tips that were stored in that era, and its pressing pressure can be imagined. And in this one-to-ten, ten-thousand-for-one wrestling, one can get the evaluation of "but not lost" and "reluctantly nodding".
Describe the highlights and flaws in detail.
The beginning could have been better.
The legend of the executioner drawing the sword is written in white letters on a black background, and then the drum beats fast, time goes back to the end of the curtain, the last beacon fire of the Battle of Toba Fushimi, the legendary man was killed from the blood, chasing the end of an era behind him—— Very loyal to the opening of the original work, separated from the frame of an A4 paper, it could have been more vigorous and intense, similar to the end of the OVA chapter of "Reminiscence", Kenshin raised his sword and looked at the sea of fire across the bank, and the vicissitudes of the emperor's flag. with Zhuang Huai. It's a pity that the editing is a bit slow and the camera's point of view is too narrow. Saitoichi, who walks with a flag of sincerity while smoking a cigarette, looks like the boss in a gangster movie instead of the tile-sword face, slender eyes, and written on the sword. The Mibu Wolf is a savage wolf without a single flaw. Kenshin's reaction after seeing the victory of the war also thought it was inappropriate - but some people think that it was handled well, this is a matter of opinion - I personally think that this kind of dejected heart and death that has no business appeared in the death of Abaxin. Afterwards, it is reasonable, but after the end of the Restoration War, Jianxin experienced the ideological struggle after Aba's death. After several ups and downs, he finally decided to re-enter the war. At this time, the confirmation of his own meaning, the establishment of fighting motives and beliefs have been completed. For him, the end of the war was the achievement of the ideal rather than the end of the torture of sin, so the back of the living dead was slightly shorter here.
But there was an action scene that was brilliant. Let people ignore the minor flaws.
Or rather, the action scenes throughout the movie are overwhelming highlights. Coupled with the background music that has a slight sense of dislocation of the times but is therefore more magnificent, at the moment when the sword is drawn, all dissatisfaction and complaints are left behind. The movement design of the martial arts is exquisite and smooth, and the complexity and change made me suspect that it was the supervision of the Chinese (you must know that Japanese samurai movies rarely work so hard in the interpretation of the movements), and the loyalty to the original moves is restored. It almost wept. Ssangyong Shan and Ya Tu Zero drag you back to that little time when you were peeking at the pirated comics you bought at the bookstore, and the plot and the sultry heat of the bed caused you to sweat profusely. You listened to Jianxin's announcement of the name "Flying Swordsman", thinking about how excitedly you were competing with your classmates after class to read and discuss the plot, and that you could take time out of class to watch a fight every day. May all the time that has been passed be stolen and exchanged to where did it go?
Ten years ago, the technique of drawing a knife was finally returned to its sheath.
Sato Ken gave us such a Kenshin-slightly taller than expected, less talkative than remembered, lacking in pretending to be silly, sometimes cute, and barely moving his upper body when fighting , his eyes were cold and precise when he drew the knife, and he said with a smile, "The sword is a weapon and swordsmanship is a trick to kill, but I still prefer the innocent and dreamy words that the girl Xun said." Two almost two words popped out from the ground, Ding Jie knocked on the box full of memories, and poured it down like a basin of water.
"Oh."
In an instant, the old sword in the heart sheath turned to ashes.
I do not deny that I have selfishness towards the work "Rurouni Kenshin". Not only because he made me meet two of the most important friends in my life, but also because of his appearance at an age where he has gone from blindly accepting other people's thoughts, to forming his own thoughts, dazedly accepting the aspirations of his elders, to his own aspirations to study. . Everyone has a righteous hero whom he longed for in his childhood. For me, I am a skinny man who is less than 1.6 meters in length. He will be ridden on the head by women and children. Hahaha calmly, Zhan Zhan is currently sitting in front of the laundry tub, rubbing his clothes, and was kicked into the tub by his exasperated companion.
But even so, he always had that sword hanging from his waist.
He was chased by police officers over fifty years old and ran all over the street with his trousers in his hands, past the era of the last samurai, past the era when dignity was exchanged for money, and money piled up into death. I ran past the times when aristocrats were begging along the streets, when taxis were pulling carts and shoeshine, and when the injustices shouted with swords and eventually set themselves on fire, and when old words were only spread in the form of words, and new words such as The era when Zadi Qiongyao was madly picked up and madly thrown away.
He didn't let go of the sword in his hand.
PS The reason why I am so tolerant of the movie version but can never forgive "Star Frost" is not because the latter boldly abandoned the happy ending and went to the fateful tragic ending. In fact, I personally also tend to the possibility that Kenshin died before the age of forty. What makes me unacceptable is that in the film, Jian Xin knew that he had contracted an infectious disease, but he still had an affair with Ah Xun, so he spread the disease to Xun and eventually died of Xun. This is simply not OOC and has reached the point of insulting the character's personality. From then on, I have been black about "Star Frost" all my life. This is not selfishness, but a principle.
